Amoéba Unanimously positive EU vote on active substance as biocontrol

Amoéba received unanimous positive votes from all 27 EU Member States for its active substance to be used as a low-risk biocontrol. The vote followed a positive scientific opinion from EFSA in January 2025 and now paves the way for the European Commission to formalize the approval through an implementing regulation. The vote supports Amoéba's plans to commercialize its biocontrol product Axpera, with first EU sales expected by late 2025 or 2026, as the final product is already undergoing regulatory review across several EU countries. We expect the launch to be focussed initially on grapes and high-value vegetables across countries in Western and Mediterranean Europe. Meanwhile, Amoéba is also finalizing its partnership with Koppert. We reiterate a Buy rating and € 1.7 TP.
